“I first saw the film u0026#39;Genevieveu0026#39; around 1969 – 1970 at home in glorious Black and white on black and white TV. Since then it has always stood out in my mind as one of the more memorable and enjoyable films from the 50u0026#39;s and 60u0026#39;s so common on TV at that time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s gentle comedy and heartening scenes of the English countryside along with the outstanding and unforgettable harmonic tones of Larry Adleru0026#39;s uplifting score make for such a rich and pleasing cinematic experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI have probably now seen the film more than five times and more recently in full colour, which makes it even more pleasing to the eye and enables one to see not only the main star u0026#39;Genevieveu0026#39; but all the other incidental passing vehicles of the late forties and early fifties in their full livery and colour. Many of these vehicles would today be collectors items in their own right.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt would not be putting it too strongly to say that the film u0026#39;Genenieveu0026#39; is a toy vehicle appreciators and collectors delight, as well as an inspiration for restorers of full size veteran vehicles.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAlan Wainwright”
